Topic: Computer Assistance: Pebkac (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It may be PEBCAK ("problem exists between keyboard and chair"}, but the entity between the "c" and "k" needs some help anyway. My home page doesn't fill my screen up all the way and I only remember part of what I did the last time to fix it. ("go to an empty place on the desktop and right click" is all I can remember, y'all , I am sorry. I thought[ I bookmarked it but apparently I didn't or it didn't "take".
Can someone please me accomplish this again please?
Thanks

Re: Reading Music (16 replies, posted in Music theory)
Before reading your post, I thought I was looking at the result of an angry Ludwig Van Beethoven (known to me as "The Maestro") who just couldn't get that "movement" down.
Although I can read percussion, no way can I do anything with notes all over the staff, so I'm with you as wel, TF.

Thanx. I don`t know what to say.

Enjoy Every Sandwich was said by Warren Zevon on his last appearence on Letterman. They are both tattooed on my Arms. Along with JoeyJoeyJoey. Which I got from the beginning of the "Joey Bishop Show". Plus, people would always say that to me. Nice to be immortalized. Like the Bread machine. Another favorite quote. "Live fast, Love hard, Die Young And Leave A Beautiful Corpse". Starting to stray away from that one. Lol.

Re: Thumb Picks (19 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hey, Classical Guitar
As you already know, I am primarily a drummer, but I have seen a thumb pick being used in conjunction with a finger pick. This was mostly used with bluegrass music, however.
Would someone of your caliber ever use one or the other? I don't believe they would --- The Maestro, Andres Segovia would spin in his grave were that to happen ----- but maybe the picks could be softened somehow? I used felt bass guitar picks on my 6 string to try to get a more "velvet" sound several years ago and that worked for me.
Excuse me for rambling.

Re: November 2016 FSOTM - Friends in low Places - Hide your love away (41 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
My Dad used to own a very small hamburger joint called "The Hideaway" and the local radio station kept bugging him to advertise, so during a practice one night, I had the following idea for a radio "jingle". It was called "You've Got To Love Your Hideaway"...... Business increased about 50% I think, until people started calling the station asking how much it would take to get this thing OFF the air????

Also, messages left for both Rick and Mo' on SoundCloud. I'm glad neither of them are on those shows where they judge people on their performances, because they'd probably kick me off being that both of the above turned in GREAT performances of their chosen tunes! More, More, More from both of you!

I just saw your sig line, and laughed my butt off. I had never heard of the first part of that quote, but the last part I have heard in a slightly "modified" version: "Everything to excess! NOTHING in moderation!"
Thanks for the Sunday morning smiles, Joey³..
By the way, it took me forever to find "to the third power" for your name, but now it's on a post-it on the frame of my screen, so consider your nickname 'immortalized".

I would like to hear this beautiful story of yours in a song, Pete.
Have you already written one???
Too bad. Write another one and write it THIS time through the eyes of someone like me. A guy who just got the message about how strong love can be.
I already know you can write a song like this, because I have seen and heard your work.
So... that's your assignment, my friend: Write a love song about someone who is watching you and your Maree looking at each other through eyes of love.
Waiting....;)
